Score improvement depends on your starting point and study intensity, but many students gain 5-15 points in a focused 5-week program. The key is consistent practice with full-length tests, targeted work on your weakest sections, and applying strategic techniques under timed conditions. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who can identify your specific gaps and create a study plan that maximizes improvement for your timeline.

Timing is one of the biggest challenges on the LSAT—you have roughly 8-9 minutes per Logical Reasoning question, 8-9 minutes per Reading Comprehension passage, and 8-9 minutes per Logic Game. A 5-week prep class teaches you to recognize question types quickly, skip strategically when needed, and practice under timed conditions to build speed without sacrificing accuracy. Expert tutors can help you develop a personalized pacing strategy based on which sections slow you down most.

Logic Games require a different skill set than the other sections—diagram recognition, rule mapping, and scenario testing. In a 5-week program, you'll learn the core game types, develop diagramming shortcuts, and practice games repeatedly to build pattern recognition. Many students see the biggest score jumps in Logic Games because improvement is directly tied to practice volume and technique refinement, which tutors can accelerate through targeted feedback.

Ideally, you'll take 4-6 full-length practice tests during a 5-week program—roughly one per week—to track progress and build stamina for test day. Between tests, you'll drill specific sections and question types to address weak areas. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who use real LSAT PrepPlus materials and provide detailed score analysis so you understand not just what you got wrong, but why.

Test anxiety often stems from unfamiliar question formats or time pressure. A structured 5-week prep class builds confidence through repeated exposure to real LSAT questions, timed practice, and clear strategy frameworks. Tutors also help you develop a test-day routine, teach breathing and focus techniques, and remind you that the LSAT is a learnable test—consistent practice with expert guidance significantly reduces anxiety and improves performance.

Reading Comprehension requires active reading, quick passage mapping, and careful question analysis. Effective strategies include annotating for main ideas and structure, distinguishing between fact and inference questions, and avoiding common traps like answer choices that are true but don't answer the question. A 5-week prep class teaches you to read strategically under time pressure and practice with diverse passage types so you're ready for anything test day brings.

Your first step is to take a diagnostic test to identify your strengths and weaknesses, then get matched with a tutor who can design a 5-week plan tailored to your goals and timeline.
